The Death (Change) of an Industry: The Evolution (Collapse) of Retailing

This documentary investigates the retail industry's evolution by focusing on the experiences of small business owners and financial analysts. It also includes insights from a senior retail executive who has deep familial ties to the industry, having worked with several large department store chains like Bealls, PA Bergner, and Venture.

The film addresses significant themes such as the migration of manufacturing overseas, job losses, and industry consolidation. It raises critical questions about whether these changes represent a natural evolution of business practices or signify the decline of essential American middle-class jobs. This exploration makes it relevant for anyone interested in the current state and future of retail.
